Recently, I replaced my Mazda CX-5 rear brake pads, and now the width of the brake pads is 9mm. I talked to the service manager and he said that the ideal width of new rear brake pads is 9mm. I just wanted to know if this information is right?
 
Service manual for 2015 says MINIMUM rear disc pad thickness is 2mm.. it doesn't specify a maximum.
 
The OEM mazda pads(not value line) I installed were 8 or 9 mm thickness new.Thought I recorded it somewhere but can't find it now.It is what it is.
